Gangster Museum of America, Hot Springs

Almost everyone in our tour would have preferred it to be unguided, although the gentleman leading the tour was very nice and knowledgeable. The videos are a little old, and not edited very well (it’s US Marshal, not Marshall). We were pushed to keep moving past some of the more interesting exhibits, and overall the museum would be cooler if the videos played on a loop, and the guides were stationed about to answer questions and call attention towards artifacts, with the museum patrons being able to move about the building freely.

This place was a very neat place to visit. It gave a little bit of interesting history of Hot Springs. The young man doing the tour seems to really enjoy what he does. His family has history in the area. If you get him as your guide you will find out the significant role his family played in the area. Very neat tour. There are videos but I rather enjoyed them. I'm eager to bring my husband.
